[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But some are not behind at all, making the gap huge. I feel badly for the ones not behind. It’s going to be a long year for them. [b]Did some parents really do nothing for a year and a half?[/quote][/b] Many parents don't do anything with their kids prior to kindergarten so it's more like they are preschoolers in many cases. Even the cafeteria assistants have told me that kids just sit there at lunch and don't eat because they've never had to open food containers for themselves. They just sit and wait and don't ask for help. I have 1st graders who don't recognize their own name in print let alone be able to write it. Many have no strength at all in their hands and some still don't have a hand preference. It's bad.[/quote]
